Lessons learned in 3D modelling of underground structures

This article seeks to equip engineers with more knowledge about ruins. Building on Part 11 of the Conservation compendium, 'A career in ruins (the challenges presented by derelict structures)' , it provides further sources of information from a UK perspective for those engineers who look after them.

This article discusses two topics: validation – am I asking the right questions of the software; and verification – am I getting the right answers?

This article offers tools and knowledge for early-career engineers to confidently navigate the potential pitfalls of computer-aided structural design.
